GBP claiming Mayweather vs Marquez will do more than 1M PPV Buys

[Gandalf]

Yeah, that was pretty disgusting.

Floyd sold so well in his last two fights because of Hatton and DelaHoya. Mayweather against Marquez is not a megafight because these are two fighters whose paths were really not meant to cross. The public is not drooling at the mouth in expectation of this fight at all and I cannot see the PPV figures being anything special. There was no hype for a Mayweather/Marquez fight prior to the fight being made and this kind of drivel shows GBP trying anything they can to at least garner some level of respectability for it.

It's sad really. Over a million sales? Hilarious.

Spot on mate, the real interest was never in this fight. It's a made up 'megafight' as opposed to a real 'by public demand' fight.

I think this one might end up being a bit embarassing in the end in terms of numbers.

I believe they also said Mayweather-Hatton was projecting to do 1.5 million, and that ended up somewhere in the 850K range.

I think this fight does about 550-600K. Maybe a little more.
